Sir:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 3267, it appears that Daniel Eells applied for pension, June 12, 1839, while a resident of New Hartford, Oneida County, New York, and stated that while residing at Middletown, Hartford County, Connecticut, he served as a private with the Connecticut Troops as follows-
From January 1, 1776, three months in Captain Jared Shepherd's Company, Colonel Wadsworth's Regiment; from August 1, 1776 to October 1, 1776 in Captain Jared Shepherd's Company, Colonel Talcott's Regiment; from July 10, 1779 to September 1, 1779 in Captain Amos Whitmore's Company, Colonel Talcott's Regiment; and from September 1, 1780 to September 8,

1780 in Captain Jared Shepherd's Company, Colonel Talcott's Regiment.
The claim was not allowed, as the applicant failed to furnish proof of services, as required by the pension law.
It also appears in said claim that Daniel Eells was born November 29, 1757 at Middletown, Connecticut.
Sons, John and William Eells are referred to; also grand-son, William Eells Abbott. (There are no further data as to family.)

G. H. Bennett Esq. Dear Sir I received Your communication addressed to C. P. Bicknell Esq. dated Nov 10 th and for various reasons have deferred writing until now for 15 years past I have been suffering with an acute inflammation in both my eyes which has almost deprived me of sight & for the most part of the time since I rec d Your letter I could not see to write another reason is I accidentally heard of a man living in the same town where my Father was born & where he resided during the war of the revolution this mans name is Aaron Abbott & as I understand he was a soldier in the war of the Revolution and draws a pension I have written two letters to Connecticut where he lives to know whether he knows anything respecting my Father being a soldier in the war but as I yet have rec d no answer my Father was born in Nov 1755 & was a soldier during the whole of the war he served in the Militia on the coast guards at different stations (viz) Stamford Greenwich or Horse Neck as it was then called in the County of Fairfield under the command of different Captains first under Capt John Carter then under Capt Daniel Benedict then under Capt Reuben Scoville & I believe a while under a Capt Mason he served in various other places at Danbury when it was burnt was in the battle of Ridgefield & was within six rods of Genl. Housatonic when he fell Mortally wounded

from his House: in short his services were rendered from the City of New York along the Coast as far east as Danbury north to the Berk Kill mountains & through all of west Chester County: my declaration & papers on file will give a correct knowledge of the facts & all that is lacking is 3 Months more Service as I am informed no pension can be granted without six Months positive Service is proved and which at this late day is almost impossible to be done as there is so few of the Soldiers of that war alive & all the pay Rolls & Documents in relation to the Militia of the State of Connecticut were sent to Washington as Vouchers in the settlement of accounts between the United States & Connecticut and it is supposed that they were burnt in the war of 1812 as there is no such to be found at the Comptrollers Office in C t or in the war Office: my former Agent Mr. J. L. Edwards wrote me that could find no Documents in relation to my case to establish my claim & therefore wrote to him & requested him to give up his Agency that I might avail myself of any proof that might be within your knowledge whereby I might obtain the pension that is honestly due to me for services rendered by my Father in our struggle for Freedom and which I so much need. I had understood that Capt. Scifield kept all his pay Rolls and Documents relating to the war until he died & when the pension laws came

out some person came to get proof to obtain his Pension & those are said to have been taken to Starbington some 4 or five years since as proof of the service of some person but who I do not know could those papers be found I presume my claim could be established they may possibly have been attached to the papers of that person & not have been filed as documents belonging to the war office I shall try to find out & give you notice: another source of proof may possibly be obtained from the papers of prisoners that have died if such papers are yet in the office and here I would refer you to the papers of Jonathan Heed & Daniel Robertson Discharged both were prisoners & my brother says that my Father made Affidavits for both of these men to establish their claim & I should suppose that as he is dead affidavits made by him proving the service of others would be good evidence in relation to his service these two men lived in the Town of Walton in the county of Delaware -are State of New York during the time they were prisoners. (and here let me say that the widow of Jonathan Heed drew a pension after his death & that there is yet due her some $300 for arrears of pension & the adopted son of the said Jonathan wished me to ask if there was any means by which that money may be obtained & if so please let me know & he will give you the agency) please examine the list of Discharged prisoners & see if the name of Ezra Benedict of Walton Delaware County

State of New York if his name is there I presume my Father's Affidavit will be found attached to his papers as they served together in the same company the Law under which I expect to draw a pension if I draw at all is the Act of June 7 th 1832 allowing the widow if he left one to draw his pension or if he left no widow his Children may draw it: this is the reason why I am entitled to draw if I can make the necessary proof my Mother died two years before my Father & my Brother & Sister releasing their claim to me if it can be obtained at all it belongs to me some say if I make out my case that I am entitled to it from 1824 and also bounty land I would like to know how it is whether Soldiers of the rear of the Revolution belonging to the Militia are entitled to Bounty land this is all I have to communicate to you at this time but shall obtain all the proof I can from time to time & send it you as it comes to hand with sentiments of respect I subscribe myself Your obedient friend & humble servant
Hon C. W. Bennett Esq. John Ellis Washington City D.C.

My Dear Commissioner.
On Jan'y 12. 1839. my Great Grandfather, Daniel Ellis - of New Hartford Oneida Co. NY. made an application for a pension for Revolutionary Service . - from Middletown Conn.
As he was then over Eighty years of age & did not furnish the required Evidence of service, nor did he choose to go to the trouble of obtaining such Evidence, his application was not allowed.
Will you please send me a Certified Copy of his application , as there is any charge for having same made, I will be pleased to remit, whatever amount you say is right & proper.
Very truly Yours. W.P. Abbott.

Honorable Commissioner Of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Sir:-
Will you kindly advise me if the records of your office show service of one Daniel Eells in the Revolutionary Army. A descendant of Mr. Eells has told me that such papers were filed in Washington, D. C. before Mr. Eells' death, but not acted upon.
The family records show that Mr. Eells joined the Revolutionary Army, January 1, 1776, at Middletown, Conn. and served as a private in Captain Jared Sheppard's Company, Colonel Wadsworth Regiment, Conn. State Militia, being discharged April 1, 1776.
He again enlisted August 1, 1776 and served two months in the same company being discharged October 1, 1776. He again enlisted at the same place on July 10, 1779 and served two months as private in Captain Amos Wetmore's Company, of Colonel Talcutt's Regiment and was discharged September 1, 1779. He again enlisted on September 1, 1780 and served seven days in the same company being discharged September 7, 1780.
It is possible that this name was spelled differently in colonial time. This information is desired to enable one the descendant of Mr. Eells to join the Sons of the American Revolution.
The records in the local office of the Sons of American Revolution fail to give the required information and I take the liberty of asking that you have a search made of the records in your office.
Thanking you in advance in anticipation of kind compliance, and enclosing a stamped envelope for a reply, I remain, S-CL.
Respectfully yours,
E. E. Simmons

Your letter of the 19 th ultimo has been received. I have made an examination of our Rolls for the years 1775, 6, 7, 8, & 9 and do not find the name of Daniel Ellis on any of them.
You are probably aware that we have not complete Rolls of Militia Service, and the fact that evidence is not found in this Office, should be no bar to a claim which is supported by other evidence, than the Comptroller's certificate,
The name of Daniel Ellis is not on the Roll of the Conn. Line.
You will please send me one dollar for the search.
I am very respectfully yours Wm. Geo. Robinson Gov. Compt.

very many reg

A brief statement of each term of service should be laid before the Comptroller of Genl. & his certificate obtained in which he should state how far his records either confirm or discredit each -
